Just bought a new mobo (and cpu and ram) which has SATA 3 3gbs
connectors which are SATA 1.5gbs compatible.
Am I correct in assuming that I need ALL SATA drives connected with
3.5gbs (orange) sata cables, or can I use 1.5gbs (red) cables with
1.5gbs hdd's? Theset-up manual doesnt mention this.

Thanks Dazza
Obtained a couple more "Orange" SATA cables and connected up HD's. All's
well.
Guy in shop didnt know if the "red" cables were the same as the "orange"
cables or not.
Given that my new Gigabyte mobo has SATA 2 connectors and came with
"orange" cables, that's what I bought.
